@MattE.Эллен Seems like all we get anymore are incoherent pleas for "which sentence is correct?" and people who want us to be thesaurus monkeys.

@Robusto yah. so many

I'm coming around to the view that single-word-requests should be restricted.

it's difficult to know what to do. so many of our members love the tag...

> I just resent the email.

Not quite sure how to take that.

yeah. was it an IM?

@MattE.Эллен They're all writing ad copy where every word counts so much

Or what is the same thing, poetry, where they've written themselves into a corner where only a single word (they don't know which one) will fit

@Robusto And that I will not do. Any other kind of monkey maybe.

@Mitch a rose by any other name would smell as ... single-word-requests opposite of bitter

salty?

sour?

UMAMI!

And I meant that to sting.

@MattE.Эллен Gertrude Stein said it best when she wrote someone else's autobiography.

@Mitch 旨味 (tasty taste)

@MattE.Эллен wait! roses don't smell sweet. That would be weird. They smell nice, just not sweet. Who is this Shakespeare guy anyway? Who does he think he is, Edward de Vere?

Not sure those nopes will ever get boring

@MattE.Эллен Text.

Ouch!

How about Zwaziland?

Too bad it is with an s.

so what do you think about mr badger?

But seriously, one out of eight questions on ELU is a single-word-request. I dunno, I never thought I'd grow up to be a thesaurus.

It was either that or astronaut. I don't want to judge but I think you made the right choice. No regrets man!

Don't spend your life striving to be worth only two-thirds as many points as a mathematician. :D
